i can easily carry 28 to 50 qt coolers on my kayaks a folding table folding chair and gear and food for 4 days no problem.

I see in the last two pics that you have a cooler strapped to the top of the kayak. Do you have any stability/top-heavy issues when paddling like that?

I've seen more than coolers on the AT... not from Thru hikers tho... I was part of a party hike that carried in 6 tiki torches, and gallon of fuel for said torches, more libations than you could shake a stick at, a fire grill, fresh vegetables and about 20 pounds of pasta salad. hehehehe We gave a couple through hikers the feast of their trip. It was grand.

I may be slow... But I sure am gimpy.

Neo, you're good - we need someone to tease about their choice of girlfriends. I'd love to paddle with you, too. Did you replace your lost gear? No ultralight trip here, though. A cooler? I'd like to see that on the AT!

Congrats - I know you were missing that boonie hat you lost. And of course, it's camo - what else would you get? We will have to get a trip list going to make sure we don't overpack and duplicate too much.

Those hikers musta thought they had died and gone to heaven. Speaking of weight! I carry cast iron dutch ovens on my canoe trips. They make some mean lasagna and awesome biscuits for breakfast. I will treat this trip to some of that good dutch oven cooking.

Revolution is about the need to re-evolve political, economic and social justice and power back into the hands of the people, preferably through legislation and policies that make human sense. That's what revolution is about. Revolution is not about shootouts.

Man, I'm REALLY looking forward to this trip now - Dutch oven cooking. That's why I like canoeing - you can bring everything but the kitchen sink because the canoe does all the heavy lifting. I AM SO IN ON THIS TRIP!
